^^^^b!tching & so on,.....I don't think so! :angry:

Anyways, I think we should ask Phil to work his magic on JKM and see what discounts we'd get on running a BLUEFIN RR day :grin:

I'd be up for it,.....before anyone asks, haven't forgotten the graphs from SC, just received some bad news today and things a tad poo at the mo, keep smiling though as they say!!!

Will post graphs soon although to be honest, I'd rather wait and get JKM to run another dyno check to compare???

That wasn't aimed at you, or anyone on here, sorry. I was referring to references on other forums of similar issues.. where they've actually done nothing to attempt to rectify the problem like you have, they've just b!tched and whined and expected to be spoon fed the fix by someone else.

if someone doesn't tell SC there's a problem, how are they supposed to know? They could have sold a million of these, and if only 1 person has complained, then as far as they're concerned, they've only got 1 problem - until now I bet they hadn't realised it might be a "bigger" issue, so they won't have considered looking into their databases. You've all done a great job of highlighting what might be a widespread problem to them, so they can now do for all intents and purposes a "recall" and put everyone's right.

If more people had complained in the first place, then they might have already contacted you by now, updated your map and we'd never have been having this conversation on this thread.

I've now had an email (after sending them an email with my "old" map) from Michael Alvey-Anderson with a "Stage 2 Map for Edition 30 Manual with Exhaust".

Will upload it shortly and report back after a few days...

how did you find out the map details ?

I found on my original map, the power release was initially very agressive and then just died,....  :sad:

This of course was confirmed by my result at the JKM RR day,

Now though she is defo quicker, much quicker (which is to be expected) and really smooth which is a plus too :evil:
